E) Release of chemical mediators
A) Vascular permeability
B) Cellular infiltration
D) Thrombosis
Explanation: A) When acute inflammation occurs as a result of a bacterial infection, chemical mediators are released which result in the following vascular events: vasodilation, vascular permeability, cellular infiltration, and thrombosis formation. While there is a brief period of vasoconstriction after the initial tissue insult, it is followed by a prolonged period of vasodilation.
B) When acute inflammation occurs as a result of a bacterial infection, chemical mediators are released which result in the following vascular events: vasodilation, vascular permeability, cellular infiltration, and thrombosis formation. While there is a brief period of vasoconstriction after the initial tissue insult, it is followed by a prolonged period of vasodilation.
